If you don't want to beta but you think you can help out writers by proof-reading, you are also welcome to do so. PM me for details.

Beta-reader = involved in the story development, looks for plot-holes, checks for grammar,spelling and typographical errors. So far, we only allow two writers per beta-reader.

Proof-reader = checks only the the form of the fics: grammar,spelling and typographical errors only. Proof-readers and writers need not be exclusive. You can pass a chapter to any of the Proof-readers whenever. Just give allowance for time.

The procedure is simple: Choose a beta, send him/her a PM (you can click on his/her name here), wait for a response. If the Reader you want is unavailable, you can choose another one OR wait. Even if it is not adviseable, betas may read more than two (the standard maximum number at this stage) authors. Business is best conducted through PM.
